I've been asked on a number of occasions what my viewpoint is on nudity in movies. The main cause for the interest in this particular topic is one of my scenes in My Little Eye.

I would like for people to be comfortable with it, but asking my husband to look at a sex scene with another man and not mind is asking too much. I'm only thankful he understands it was nothing but acting and doesn't hold it against me.

I assure you, though, it hasn't changed my opinion on the human body. I still stand by what I said, because I think it's a beautiful thing. I'm happy to hear that you agree with me on that.

As for your second thought, I'm relieved I made sense. I had hoped I wouldn't come off as hypocritical stating my support for the freedom of physical expression in one breath and then declaring I was covering up from head to toe in the next.

I'm beginning to babble. Anyway, thank you so much. I was a little uncertain with such a post - especially as it was so soon after I begun my journal - but you've set my mind at ease. It's great to find someone like minded and as lovely as you are.
